black dagger

driven to the darkness
the shadows down an alley
the unknown
naughty interludes
sharp stilettos that cut like knives

manton

chins and necks
contortion
tense muscles
pulled tendons
oh how visceral they are
why didn't i think of this?
and its wheatpasted from Europe
i die.

true beauty in an expected place
that amazing group of bones, tendons, muscles and nerves
all that hold our big ol' heads up
day in and out
organic perfection.

[fyi: manton means chin in haitian kreyol hehe]

love

is the answer.

i love this.
